Upper lip swollen

2018-06-11 21:37:47
I’ve been having this lump on my upper lip for about 2 to 3 weeks now. It looks like there’s a hole in the middle of the small lump and it looks like extra skin that feels like it has fluid in it.

If the lump is on the inner surface of the lip, and was caused by biting or trauma to the lip, it could be a mucocele.
Next Steps
Please visit a dentist for confirmation.
Health Tips
If it is a mucocele, it may need to be excised (removed).
